The three were found shot to death in their Rye home after firefighters responded to a fire in the structure.

After a month on the run, Mapps was arrested in December in Oklahoma.

The Pueblo Chieftain obtained a copy of the affidavit in January, which included information about possible sources of the fire, body positions of the victims and motive.

Zettler noted that some of the information in the affidavit was speculative and wrong, including a discussion of whether Roderick was sitting or standing when she was shot, based on what appeared to be blood splatter on the wall.

Zettler said presumptive tests of the blood splatter in question turned out negative for blood and that releasing the affidavit to the media without any of that context could be damaging.

Zettler also said the affidavit also doesn’t adequately note his client’s lack of criminal record or his military history.

Deputy District Attorney Jim Yontz argued that, technically, the seal on the affidavit expired when Mapps was brought to court for his initial appearance.

The office made the request to seal the document based on the fact that Mapps was not in custody at the time and presumed to be on the run.

Yontz also noted that if Zettler was worried that there wasn’t a balance to the content of the affidavit, his statement in open court Tuesday took care of that.

District Judge William Alexander said affidavits are normally open to the public and typically one-sided, and ordered the document be unsealed.
